Alba: A Wildlife Adventure (2020) is an adventure game where you play as a young girl who starts a wildlife conservation club. Play involves exploring the island, using the bird song you hear to find and photograph all manner of real-world birds. It stands out for the story-book feel and the gentle and open expiration of the Mediterranean island

When Alba visits her grandparents on a Mediterranean island, she is excited for a summer of exploring with her friend Ines. But when she sees an animal in danger, she realises the island needs her help. The developer describes it as "a personal story inspired by the team's own fond memories of childhood summers in the Mediterranean. A game about how together, we can make a difference.”

As you progress, you work to restore the beaches and wildlife back to their serene beauty. Meeting characters and taking pictures to help you on your way. By doing this you catalogue flora and fauna.

The result is a lovely little adventure game that combines the feel of the children's TV show Balamory with Pokemon animal collecting. Running through it all is a story about saving a nature reserve which gives you a reason to talk to the different characters in the village. The perfect game to share with a child, or for older children to enjoy as their first adventure game.
